Intro: ADAEA
Verse 1:
A
Well these are, hard times we're living in
Nobody cuts you any slack
We got space-age machinery, atone-age emotions
E
Today a man had better watch his back
A
Every-body's selling somethin', the baron and the bumpkin
D
A man has got to fight for what is his
E
If what they're offering to you, looks too good to be true
You can bet your bottom dollar that it is
Chorus 1:
AD
No, thank you, I don't think so, I think I'm smellin' a rat
AEA
Don't tell me, what you're gonna do for me, 'cause I've been there, and done that
Verse 2:
A
Lady Luck's been good to me, I'm as grateful as can be
Never thought this crazy ride would ever last
Though no-stalgia is fine, I respectfully decline
E
To spend my future living in the past
A
I've been carrying my load down this same old rocky road
D
Every day I'm getting deeper in a rut
E
Workin' overtime, now a dollar's worth a dime
And everybody wants a bigger cut
Chorus 2:
AD
No, thank you, I don't think so, You must think I'm blind as a bat
AEA
I sure ap-preciate what you're tryin' to do for me, but I've been there, and done that
Bridge:
DA
B.S. blaring from the radio, the TV, hot wind blowin' off the hill
DE
It's a mystery to me we can't agree to disagree it's lookin' like we never, ever will
Verse 3:
A
Like a drunkard in the night, swingin' left and swingin' right
D
Re-pub-li-can or Dem-o-crat
E
Well, I ain't got no love, for none of the above
A
‘cause I've been there, done that
Lead: A D A E
Chorus 3:
AD
No, thank you, I don't think so, it's a little too pat
AEA
Don't tell me, to take it easy, ‘cause I've been there, and done that
AD
No. thank you, I don't think so, there's nothin' under your hat
AEA
No, I won't be in your movie, 'cause I've been there, and done that
EA
I've been there, and done that
EA
I've been there. and done that
